Return to the Market

The Market Wedding (with art by Regolo Ricci) was my second picture book, an adaptation of Abraham Cahan's short story "The Ghetto Wedding." My version takes place in Toronto's Kensington Market and to celebrate the new edition from Groundwood Books we took a little walking tour of the market. Here you can see a photograph of the Kiever Synagogue, model for the one in the book. The tour can be found on Groundwood's blog at http://groundwoodbooks.com/kensington-tour/.
